envelope7 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi all, I live in Walkley, down Providence Road. I'm really interested in finding out more about the history of Walkley in general, but mainly about the residents and happenings on Providence Road. This might sound weird, but the house I rent down this road (lived here for 4 years now) has a consistent strange feel about it. Like some kind of odd, slightly negative energy which feels like the aurora of the house's history and inhabitants, recorded somehow in the surroundings. In particular, there is an old mirror/dressing table which emits a really interesting energy ( I know I sound a tad mad, but please bear with me!), and I have seen the face of a young beautiful girl transforming before my eyes into an old hag in the mirror about 2 times. Any insight, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any insight, thoughts? Not sure if it helps, but my dad (with his parents and siblings) lived on Providence Rd perhaps from 1930s up to about 1952. His mum (my nan) lived in a different house on Providence Rd from her birth in 1888 but then moved away before returning. No idea about your visions though!

So sorry for the very, very late reply. Don't look at the Forum much these days.

Stannilady Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 My wife Brenda lived at 111 Industry Street 1945 to 66 Hi, I've just joined the Forum and was trawling through when I came across your post. I lived at 95 Industry St and I knew your wife Brenda and her sister Lorraine. I think she will remember the Brookfield family. We used to play together when we were young but Brenda was a bit older than me. Ah happy days ! She was called Howson before she married. Fond memories...

Any insight, thoughts? I also live on Providence Road (though have not witnessed any spooky goings on in our house that we have lived in for 5 years). Would be interested in finding out more about the history of the area. It has always struck me as being a bit odd that the far end of the road (furthest from the Walkley Bank Road junction) stops as a dead end rather than continuing down the hill towards Rivelin. Does anyone know if there used to be an old quarry there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 ...Does anyone know if there used to be an old quarry there?Yes, it is shown on this old map (click on the blue dot and drag to the left for a modern aerial view). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
